From the Body Parts List. 55-B is 30-31 Tudor, 82-B is 30-31 CCPU

Bob is correct.
BUT, be aware that the drawing in the upper left corner, on the same page, although labeled as for a Tudor, is incorrect.

Check your opening vs. the drawings to determine which is correct. It will be obvious.

Also be aware that the noted Service Bulletin is from MAY 1928. When consulting that Service Bulletin, you should also check it against the part number for the appropriate vehicle.
1930-31 cars did not exist when the May 1928 Service Bulletin was issued. That Service Bulletin identifies the glass sizes by body style name and part number. When the body styles were updated in 1930, the part numbers were also amended to add a suffix, such as -A, -B, etc. Bob's follow-up post lists some of those numbers.
A good example of where the May 1928 Service Bulletin could get you in trouble is for the Coupe. In 1928-29, the Coupe (45A) and Tudor (55A) doors & glass for the doors is the same. However, the 1930-31 Coupe (45B) door is not as wide as the Tudor (55B) and Closed Cab (82B) doors, nor is the glass that goes in it. If You need a door glass for a 1930-31 Coupe, a glass that is cut to the "Coupe" pattern in the May 1928 Service Bulletin will be too wide to fit.
The diagram that Tom mentioned (upper left corner in the May 1928 Service Bulletin) is for the 1928 to early 1930 Closed Cab (82A), as well as the Model "T" Tudor.

The Body Parts List that I posted tells you what you need to know. The 1930-1931 CCPU (82-B) uses the same window glass as the 45-A 1928-1928 Standard Coupe, 49-A 1928-1929 Special Coupe, 50-A 1929-1930 Sport Coupe, 54-A 1928-1929 Business Coupe, 55-A 1928-1929 Tudor, 55-B 1930-1931 Tudor, 130-A 1928-1930 De Luxe Delivery, 103-B 1930-1931 De Luxe Delivery and 135-A 1928-1929 Taxi-Cab. It will not fit any other body types.

Bob, You are absolutely correct. My point was, that the May 1928 Service Bulletin can not be used as a stand alone source of information for the glass sizes of the 1930-1931 vehicles. The list that you posted from the 1931 "Body Parts List" completes the story so that we know which glass pieces are common between body styles of all four years.
